Trump administration tightens immigration rules, targets denaturalization

The Trump administration is implementing new policies that require foreigners seeking U.S. green cards to return to their home countries for the application process, with limited exceptions. This move is expected to affect hundreds of thousands annually and potentially further reduce legal immigration. Additionally, immigration lawyers are being temporarily reassigned to the Justice Department to expedite efforts to strip citizenship from naturalized Americans, a priority for the administration aimed at rooting out fraud in the legal immigration system.
